Trying to move from manager to director of a team that I’ve grown over the last 14 years. It’s a very small team, but impacts almost every deal the company makes.

I’m concerned they’ll say the salary bump I want (25%) is too high, however I see comparable roles with other companies for $175 - 200k.

I’m at $120k, asking for $150k.

Any suggestions to help make my argument, or does this salary even make sense???

How do I get the biggest increase WITHOUT jumping to another company?

Internal promotion pay bumps will never be that high. I was on 115 as a sr manager and got to 135 as a director - then moved to equivalent role in other company as director and got to 200k base. Move companies if you want the pay you deserve,

One way would be to get an offer from another company as leverage during your salary negotiation

Hi I would still ask. The worst thing they do is come in lower and then you can still negotiate. Every place and person is different. Don’t give up and be heard! Give evidence of your contribution. I pray this goes in your favor. Yes, I pray. It works for me. Happy holidays and can you keep us posted?

Directors in my area make 200k minimum base and around 20-45% bonus. If you are able to get an offer in hand it would show the demand for your role (potentially).

So I'm interviewing, have had loose salary conversation (talked about band but not specifics), and approaching the official offer stage. It's become clear the role is something I'm very well qualified for, but their pay expectations for the role are much lower than mine. How do I ask if I could be considered for a higher level position in the team in a higher salary band instead?

It's only 3 months I joined an MNC. I'm one of the 20 new members to the team joined recently, so the total team is of 45.

Now, the manager says there's no budget and going to put all 20 on PIP. She says, if during PIP if the performance is good, she'll hold back few.

All the people are working their ass off but I hear PIP is only for termination.

Should I also work hard or start looking for other jobs?
Will I be in bench for other projects or directly terminated with 3 months of pay? 🫠
